A North Yorkshire woman has explained how she uses hypnosis to help clients recover from the death of their pets, after finding that problems including phobias, alcoholism and food addiction could be attributed to grief.
Hypnotherapist and psychotherapist Julie Spitler-Wood, from Saltburn-by-the-Sea, explains, ‘I combine hypnotherapy with grief counselling. I decided to specialise in pet grief because so many clients came with other issues that stemmed back to the death of their pet.
Hypnotherapy is a complementary therapy that involves the use of hypnosis, alongside the analysis of life experiences, to try to treat conditions or change habits.
Julie says: ‘Clients tell me that grieving for their pet is as devastating as grieving for a relative. I had a client who came to see me because she was drinking a bottle of wine every night because she was stressed at work. When we looked back at when it started, it was at the same time she told me her pet had been run over. She had used alcohol to cope with the grief, and from then on every time she felt stressed or under pressure, or upset, she would turn to drink.
‘Another client also came with a drink problem, which was connected to a sleep problem. He said that he hadn’t slept properly for years and the only way he could go to sleep was when he had a few glasses of whisky before bed. Otherwise, as soon as he fell asleep he would wake up again.
When I asked him about the worst time in his life he said it was when he was a boy. The family had an elderly dog. The dog had numerous health problems and attended the vet regularly. He had a few operations where he had needed anaesthetic. He usually came home the same day or the following day.
‘One morning just before my client set off for school, his parents told him that his dog was going to the vet and that he would be “put to sleep”. My client thought that his dog would wake up again because he always had before (after each anaesthetic). My client was so shocked when he found out that the dog had died that in his mind he connected going to sleep with not waking up.’
She adds: 'There is no right or wrong time to get another pet. It doesn’t mean you loved the pet who passed away any less.
Often clients will say to me that they will never get another pet because they can’t go through such grief and pain ever again. Then a few months later I will get a message saying that someone they knew needed an animal rehoming (or similar) and they decided to take it.’
